Not only a great teacher but an excellent role model for all students in the business area.
Im not to sure about this guy. He plays favorites.
He has his favorites. Not bad though.
the best!
The prof is one of the only good Prof at Berkeley College in General, all campuses. There are prof that are ok, your life will be enriched after taking his course. Him and Jacobs, Serels, and Saibers from the WST campus. Prof C is trying to make Berkeley
a good professor help me lose my fear of talking in front of class, use great techniques of teaching and make you feel like if you were with your friend.
I think Prof. Christiansen is one of the best prof. I ve had so far here @ Berkeley. He takes the time to get to know his students, and respect them as true individuals.
I have to say by far that Professor Christiansen is truly the best. His is truly motivational and inspiring, which is why I feel that he connects with his students. He's an exceptional educator. I've taken 3 different courses with him and each course has been interesting, fun and very informitive
Professor C is the best teacher around. He helps you with issues inside of school as well as outside. He is truly a leader and a mentor to me.
Great educator, great person, great mentor. He helps you when you need it (not just school issues), and really cares for his student's futures and wellbeing. I'd take his class whenever possible.
love him!!!! best teacher ever!!!!
The coolest and smartest teacher I have learned from
Excellant teacher. Really cares and will do anything to make sure you will succeed. Insprired me to complete my dream. I learned not only business from his classes but how to actually succeed. Take him you wont regret it.
Okay,I think a few of you are deluded I for one do not think that he is the best teacher at Berkeley. There are better teachers than Prof. Christansen in his department and quite a few in other departments.

He is the best.
This is a very great/wonderful/interesting/exciting/intelligent Professor. One of the best at Berkeley College! If you ever come upon a opportunity to take one of his classes; grab it! You will walk away with much learnt. E.U
I was fortunate to have this professor at least five times and without doubt he is the best. Prof.Christiansen defined who I am now from when I started college two years ago. He has great business experience which he shares with his students. He also outlines clearly what is expected from his students and is a fair grader. He is simply the best.
Amazing professor who was very influential in the direction I chose to go in life. He truly cares about his students and I highly recommend taking his courses if you have the opportunity.
he is one of the best professors,he knows his stuff and he knows how to teach
Christiansen is fun. Despite the fact that he makes himself to look difficult, he is not. In fact, he is one of the sweetest professors at Berkeley College. I think is sacarsm is part of his trademark. Keep teaching prof..
Excelent!!!!!!!! smart, clever, funny, great, great, great!!! He's the best, absolutely. i'm really excellent judge of person.you count on me! Take his class!!!
Amazing!!! A wonderful professor. He knows his stuff and teaches it with such passion. I highly recommend him if you are majoring in business, you can learn alot from him and his experiences. He is always willing to help you understand and is very funny!!
He is the best and excellent..This is the first time I had him for my classes.Taking a class with him like a learning a lifetime lesson. He has a great ability to identify the hard working & best students in his class..One of the great personalities in Berkeley..
Love this professor!! He is soo kool and a great idle to look up at!!!
He is very good at what he does. Very passionate and I am learning quite a bit from him. I will say that I see he plays favorites. He's such a profesional that him playing favorites surpises me.
Simply,Prof. C is amazing,I had him for the my 1st class in Berkeley, and had him since. He's soooo funny, there never a dull moment bc he reminds me of Ace Ventura.Even though he's funny as hell, he gave me confidence in myself when it came to speakin in front of class,he brings the best out of anyone,i like his teaching bc it clear and organized
Not so crazy about him.
great teacher. reminds me of danny tanner from Full House =) but still quite awesome.
Prof chris rockssss. Somedays he's the only thing that makes me smile. I enjoy his class alot and learn alot as well.
I personally do not think that he is the best teacher at Berkeley. not very fair....no room for improvement...and you will have too much unnecessary work...
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR YOU MUST TAKE HIM!
He have to like you to grade you....
professor CC does not give anyone an A because he thinks "he is an A and nobody else is on his level", i agree and i wouldn't want him as a professor again!
I took three management courses in one semester in 2003 with this professor. I don't blame him for failing me because i gave up in the end but he makes you feel like your on our own. The first day of class he told me "Oh your the one that's taking three of my classes in one semester good luck I've never had someone take more than two"
he is absolutely crazy and amazing! He is in love with teaching and gives so many good advices,

very good prof.
Very passionate teacher. If students do their work, he easily gives A's and is a easy grader. Just do the work. Funny, interesting, and never boring. No powerpoint or multiple choice teacher. Sometimes picking too much on some students.
he is great prof. he is really friendly, he helped me a lot, he is really cool, i even went to dinner with him:) you will love him but he make you work a lot
He does make you study a lot, but at the end he gives you a break. He always gives you the easiest topics to write about for the midterm, final. He's straight forward. Everything he says, goes (midterms, grading, papers, etc (they need to be done). I've taken 3 of his classes; B+, A, A. ;)
10 minutes feels like 5 hrs...
Great Professor
He have to like you to grade you....TRUE! Can be sarcastic...I will not recommend him much...
I learned so much from him! He is a great teacher and crazy (but in a good way).
Best professor Berkeley has to offer! Usually there is a midterm exam, a term paper and a final exam... You have to study hard but You learn anyone that give a low rating are those that want an easy A! and are extremely lazy!! Easy format exams...how could u not get an A...took 3 classes... ALL A's! take him!
He know his stuff and dont motivate us to answer what is ment by any topic even if we are wrong
I like this professor, he is extremely helpful; if you ask for help..is middle of the quarter if haven't get the grade yet but i am working hard and i hope to get an A, i wold recomend this pofessor for all students. he has a lot of experience and he broughts that experience to us.I thank soo much prof. Christiansen for teaching us.
He is the best!
He's awesome. I had failed his class when I took him the 1st time, but it was my fault because I didn't study the right way for his exams. I took him twice after and passed both. He's very knoledgable & helpful. Plus, he cares for his students & is always there. I'm not sure if he has favorites, but he;s very close with his basketball crew.
Just an amazing human being. A real class act. This guy needs to be replicated and placed in every college in the universe. I have never met anyone so selfless in my life. This is a wonderful teacher and I would be stunned in anyone begged to differ!
Prof. Christiansen is so awesome. I learnt so many things from him, and the way he makes us do our presentation was so difficult for me but after many pratice i learnt how to do presentation w/o cue cards.
I had this Prof for HR and after a while I noticed he has his favourite BASKETBALL BOYS and he gave them EXTRA CREDIT and SPECIAL ATTENTION +those who attended his match. I could not afford to pay a babysitter to attend his game. When I asked for a way to get extra credit, he said if you can't make it for the game,TOUGH LUCK!
Prof. Christiansen is by far the BEST educator at Berkeley College, and the fact that he has received even one poor review on this site is outrageous. The only way not to receive an A in his is class, is if you do not commit to learning and doing the assigned work. He makes it impossible not to engage in learning by the way he teaches.
You can never ask for more in a professor. He loves what he do and is the best.
I had him for organizational behavior. He's a funny guy that doesnt put to much pressure on his students. Its kind of hard to fail a class that gives you an outline from the beginning of the class with due dates
Coach C. class is very easy! if you want to pass just attend class if you dont -2 every time your absent. Take all your papers to ASC, or get them prove read! He is a very exciting person to meet. and can help you reach your full potential. ( He is very Fair)
One of the best professors at Berkeley. He is there to help you and loves what he do. He motivates you to excel!
i had prof christiansen many moons ago and i enjoyed his classes , he made boring fun , ! he was caring and very helpful during one of my last terms and i completely lost my voice . Many professors at berkeley werent as understanding and did not want to work with me. I wish some of my online professors were like him now. Especially at 8am !! lol
Great professor. attend all his classes and do the portfolio and you will get an A
I have had Professor Christiansen for three classes and each class has been full of learning, hard work, and lots of laughter. You definitely earn the grade that you work for. Through his teaching you can get the feeling that he loves what he does.
All he cares about are the basketball students he gave them extra attention and extra time to complete assignments. He likes to get his ego stroked. he teaches well but he has favorites
his the best! just study for midterm n final ur A is there!
Great Professor, he makes class fun and easy, but if you don't study it will cost you come mid-term and final. Very easy to pass his class just study and be on time to class, the rest is very easy.
Best professor I have had so far!! I am taking several classes he teaches for my bachelor's degree! Little homework to do! If you study for your midterm and final (which is easy - get the exact notes) you will easily pass this class! I really recommend this professor!!
The best thing about this professor is that he makes you part of the class. The class is very fun and he really motivates you to keep going in your career. He really prepares you for what comes after college.
Great professor. Easy A if you learn, no quizzes and homework. He is not the teacher that just follows the book. He tells you what's going in real business world, including some unwritten rules. He is sharp and motivational. He has strong sense of humor. You will never feel boring in his class. He got the highest attendance in all my classes.
Best professor ever!!!
Was a pleasure having him as my first teacher of the day. He made mornings bearable and entertaining. Learned a lot about management. He put the material in a simple way that was easy to understand. Make sure you thoroughly study and follow directions for term projects. You'll be good
One of the best teachers at Berkeley College.. he's a great teacher and he can keep the class motivated.
Very interesting class, you will never feel bored in his class. He doesn't read the material from the textbook, instead, he will illustrate the point based on his opinion and experience. Sometimes, he gives funny examples. Also, his exams are not that hard and the grading criteria is fair. You will know exactly what he wants. Not difficult pass.
One of the very few professors that actually cares about you, as a person. Not just a student. I truly enjoy his lectures, I wish the class was longer
You definitely need to take his class!
THE BEST PROFESSOR OF ALL TIME !!!!!!
My favorite professor so far at Berkeley. He was firm and intelligent, but all the while lighthearted and genuinely interested in his students. Honestly he's like the Mr. Feeny of Berkeley College. I would definitely take one of his classes again.
The best professor that Berkeley has to offer! Truly has changed my experienced here.
Really good professor but he really does have a limited amount of work he grades based off. Attendance is mandatory, you can lose points for sure. No extra credit, really fun and engaging.
Will make you work for your grade. 2 tests, 3 assignments and 1 presentation. He likes to pick up on people and put them on spot. Be attentive and don't you dare look at your phone. Sometimes he will act all crazy by banging the door making weird noise with his shoes deliberately, other times he will say something really inspiring. He is CRAZY.
He's a great professor! Just do what's asked of you and you'll pass
Great professional overall and he'll never give up on you until the very end of the semester.
Coach Chris is a average teacher. He seems to prefer basketball over teaching. When I asked him he said he does not have a phd doctor degree and had one business job a long long time ago. The way he manages student grades is not clear. I transferred to another college and suggest you do the same.
He's out of touch. He doesn't follow current events or developments related to the course. Also very sensitive, esp when you disagree with him. After I was belittled I lost interest in the class. I'm not gonna miss those dated stories and 10 chapter memorization tests. I heard he got retired. I for one won't miss him.
The class was quite dull. His teaching style is more like a substitute teacher. He seems carefree and deflects his responsibilities to random ppl. He is not acessable outside class and he missed all our after class tutoring sessions. His tone is a bit derogatory too.
juat be more organized.
